NOTE: The Mt. Lebanon Fire Department, Police Department and Medical Rescue Team South Authority all assisted in making Ms. Massella's and Ms. Naughton's visit possible.
Minutes before it happened, mother and daughter were clueless. Oh, but they had inklings. When they finally saw each other yesterday afternoon, after 3 1/2 long years of separation, the result was a torrent of tears, cries of joy and a flood of emotions that confirmed a deep-seated love.
And in a scene for the season, a disabled mother wept while crawling the length of her bed, desperate to embrace her disabled daughter. "Money can't buy this," the mother said in tears.
Yolanda Massella, 83, of Mt. Lebanon, is bedridden and confined to her bedroom with muscular dystrophy. Her daughter Jacquie Naughton, 59, a mental health therapist who lives in Upper St. Clair, also has MD and must use a wheelchair.
